Union Bosses Going All Out to Capture Congress
During the months leading up to Election Day 2026, Big Labor bosses’ focus on politics has never been more explicit.
Fearing that newly elected Republican Governor Scott Walker will negotiate with big labor by representing the views of the taxpayers, the Wisconsin Democratic Party has gone to extreme lengths to ram through new contract before Walker takes office.
The state public employee unions are trying to ram through their contracts before the new Governor and Legislature take over in January. This is an unprecedented move – generally, they’re taken up months from now – but they know if they can get them through before the whole state government flips to red, they can get about $154 million in benefits Gov.-Elect Walker had promised to cut.
The vote is expected to be close, and the unions need every vote. So they go pick up a disgraced legislator named Jeff Wood, who is SITTING IN PRISON and drive him down to the Capitol. Wood is in jail on three separate OWI arrests within the span of a year, and lost his seat in the last election. So the fiscal fate of the state rests in the hands of a lame duck legislator who gets a day off from jail to vote the unions better benefits.

Committee President Mark Mix: “If I were a Leatherman dockworker, I certainly wouldn’t count on Longshore Union bosses to show any flexibility” to get the terminal reopened and “save my job.”
According to AFSCME Local 1632 President Will Harmon, Columbus Water & Power committed a grievous offense by subcontracting out the job of clearing away invasive weeds and brush spread out across two acres of its property to a tribe of roughly 40 goats without first “negotiating” with Big Labor.
